Excerpts from "Historical Background: The Right to Freedom"
"For instance, it took years to see that even the 'postmodern' ethic, supposedly critical of the subject, ultimately represents a more deep-seated variety of the modern idea of freedom." (16)
"Our individual self-determination and our insistence that a social order be 'just' are joined by an indissoluble bond, because our desire for justice is merely an expression of our subjective capacity for justification. [...] To demand justice, to even assert a certain aspect of justice is to strive to (co)determine the normative rules of social life." (17)
